i've just checked Kimika's Octobre, one of the best post rock releases in the 2010, splendid album, some soothing tunes, slowly developing it's epicness bursting into heavy wall of sound, similar to Mono, Explosion in the Sky, Mogwai, the sound i will never get bored with.

Nice quote:

"The whole thing about being in this band is never repeating yourself. I've always tried to surprise myself and other people as well, f**king around with people's preconceptions about what you're about and stuff. I really get a real huge f**king kick about giving people the wrong impression. Or twisting things around. Like, it might sound initially sweet, but it ain't. Or vice versa."

Can anyone guess who said it, or what band was it about? Big smile

Copy and pasting from my OP from the apparently superfluous post rock thread I just made:

A couple months ago, my blessed friend Keith introduced me to Sigur Ros. He got me to try their three albums that he considered the best: Agus Byrin (probably butchered that spelling), (), and Takk.

I found it to be some of the most beautiful music I'd ever heard. Agus Byrin is my favorite. It has a sound that the term "spacey" is usually used to describe, but I think in its case "underwater" fits better. Come to think of it, back when I was first trying to explore prog, I should have listened to Sigur Ros. It's kind of exactly what I was hoping to find.

Yesterday I decided to search google for what were other famous post-rock bands. Names I kept hearing were Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Mogwai.

I listened to a Godspeed You! Black Emperor 23 minute epic song on youtube. It was mindblowing.

I've decided post-rock is my new music obsession for the next few months.

In fact, I've decided to limit myself. To keep from getting overloaded with too much new music, until June I'm only allowing myself to acquire progressive music I haven't heard from Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, and Explosions in The Sky and will only be hearing new pop music from Owl City and the upcoming Lady Gaga album. (Yeah I know... haters)

AM (Autumn Moonlight), Argentinean band very similar to God is an austronaut

new Long Distance Calling is out, but i am not impressed with the album, few good songs but nothing more, lack of inspiration in the new release
new Grayceon is fantastic, superb, blew my mind totally
new Grails is just stunning, mind blowing experience, simply amazing, everyone should hear that

2nd to new Grayceon being awesome. Early leader for album of the year for me. (yeah one full listen and a bunch of sampling of the tracks they gave out early.) It's better than anything in 2010 though.

 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

new Explosions In The Sky is kinda boring, i am getting that feeling that they are using the same formula , same concepts over and over again, no fresh ideas,not an exceptional release at all

I like the new EITS, nothing new indeed, "for fans only" but I'm a fan Tongue

I didn't know, but Tuna Laguna have a new album ready, and they released a single here: http://tunalaguna.bandcamp.com/track/funtitled

Sounds like they're stepping further away into nu-jazz territory, close to Jaga Jazzist for example. I'll love this album if it's like that!

Also, the new Ulver is very good. The best album from our "turf" in 2011, so far.

I just added En Plein Air's first full length album to their page here and I strongly urge you guys to check them out.Their 4 song debut ep was superb.They mix post rock and classical with some jazz influences and violin and cello are prominent in their music.Highly recommended!
